"Grandfather," I called softly.
"Mm, sit down," Old Master Zhu nodded.
The atmosphere was more awkward than being with a stranger.
Unable to bear it any longer, I spoke up directly, "Grandfather, I was immature before, but I've really changed now. Please don't be angry."
Old Master Zhu sighed, "Xiao Lang told me you've changed. It seems you've truly grown up. If you don't want to return to that family, you don't have to. The Zhu Family will always be your home."
"Yes! Grandfather, I want to take back the Nan Group. Can you help me?"
"If you want to do it, go ahead. I'm here for you. Xiao Yan has had a hard life, and you weren't ambitious before, so I..." Old Master Zhu's voice choked as he mentioned Zhu Yan.
I quickly sat beside him and comforted him, "Grandfather, please don't be sad. Mom definitely wouldn't want to see you like this. I'll make those people pay the price."
"Good, good. Fan Fan has grown up," Old Master Zhu said, his eyes glistening with tears.
"That car accident wasn't an accident, was it?" Old Master Zhu suddenly said coldly.
"Yes, they did it. I'm looking for evidence; please don't worry," I replied.
"As long as you're aware of it. When did you two get together?" Old Master Zhu smiled as he looked at me and Qin Lang.
I nearly choked on my words.
Qin Lang patted my back and smiled, "It's been half a year."
I was stunned; hadn't we just met six months ago?
Old Master Zhu laughed heartily, "With Xiao Lang taking care of you, I'm at ease!"
"How has your health been lately, Grandfather?" Old Master Zhu asked.
"Very well, I was just thinking about wanting to get together with you," Qin Lang replied.
"Haha, when you all have time, let's gather together, young and old!"
"Sounds good," Qin Lang nodded.
After finishing the meal, Old Master Zhu's driver came to pick him up.
Qin Lang and I got into his SUV.
Qin Lang leaned over to fasten my seatbelt.
I grabbed his arm and asked, "When did we get together?"
"Half a year ago," Qin Lang said calmly.
"So, Brother Qin Lang really likes me," I smiled at him.
"Mm." His voice was a bit hoarse.
Looking at his handsome face, I suddenly kissed him.
Qin Lang's eyes darkened as he cradled the back of my head and kissed me back.
"Fan Fan, this is a real kiss," he whispered.
I was taken aback; the old Qin Lang wasn't like this!
He helped straighten my clothes and said, "If you don't want to go back to the Nan Family, I have a place too. Things will be resolved soon."
I snapped back to reality and replied, "Oh? It's fine, a few days won't make a difference."
"In a couple of days, there's a charity gala; come with me."
"Sure."
When I got home, Nan Shan ordered, "In two days, there's a charity gala; you and Zhu Wan will come with me."
I coldly replied, "No thanks, I have plans with Qin Lang."
Zhu Wan's eyes turned red upon hearing this.
Nan Shan chuckled and said, "Since it's Qin Lang, then forget it."
On the day of the banquet, Qin Lang took me to a studio. The makeup artist was about to do my makeup, and I looked at Qin Lang with a pleading expression, asking, "Do I really have to wear makeup?"
Qin Lang sighed and replied, "Just put some lipstick on her."
After finishing my hairstyle, the stylist handed me a golden mermaid gown and gave Qin Lang a golden tie.
When we arrived at the venue, I spotted Cheng Lin and excitedly tugged at Qin Lang's sleeve. "I see a friend! I'll come back to find you later."
Qin Lang glanced at Cheng Lin and nodded, "Go ahead."
I got so engrossed in chatting with Cheng Lin that by the time I realized it, Qin Lang had already disappeared.
A sense of unease crept into my heart.
I quickly borrowed a laptop from Cheng Lin, who happened to have one with her.
I swiftly hacked into the banquet's surveillance system. An hour ago, Qin Lang had accepted a drink from an official.
That person was someone Nan Shan had bribed.
As I rapidly scanned through the footage, I saw the official leading Qin Lang to a room on the sixteenth floor, and shortly after, he came out again.
